FC-Version: 0.18.4
a2plus version: 0.4.47d
I have built several parts within a single file (A).
I set up another file (B) to make an assembly with a2plus. I imported the bodies from A into B using "import a single shape", then converted it to full a2plus format.
I can perform all operations I need, i.e. add constraints, add more parts, remove parts etc.
But when I try to edit a part using "Edit imported part" I get the message: "This object is no imported part."
When I open file A manually and edit some body and try to "Update parts..." to import the changes, nothing happens. The original seems to be disconnected somewhere.
As one can see, the "source Part" field is in the property is empty.
What did I miss or where do I have to search for the root cause?

you did a small mistake. After importing the parts from A to B, they are already complete A2plus parts. The additional conversion step is the mistake. After the conversion the imported parts loose their link to the originals.

Re: A2plus: Can't update parts
Here is another option. Instead of building all of your parts in one file build them in different files. In this instance I saved your parts to 3 different files then added them to an A2plus assembly file.

Re: A2plus: Can't update parts
You hit the nail on the head. Works like a charm now. Is there a reason, why this convert button is active when a part is already a2plus compatible due to import?
Re: A2plus: Can't update parts
Apart from having my problem (wrong usage of tools) solved, I'd really like to use 0.19 but my distro refuses to install it. Basically after loading tons of libraries I hit the wall when cmake demanded Qt Quick. There's no package containing Qt Quick in my distro, and I failed downloading and installing it from Qt. So I probably have to wait for some update from my distro.
Re: A2plus: Can't update parts
Thanks Dan! Apart from the a2plus problem I understand why it is probably better to have a designated file for each part. It just causes less confusion.
Re: A2plus: Can't update parts
You can use the FreeCAD-0.19-AppImage instead. Most distros can handle them.Ariser wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 3:25 pm Apart from having my problem (wrong usage of tools) solved, I'd really like to use 0.19 but my distro refuses to install it.

You get it here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... g/0.19_pre
Just dowload the file, make it execuable and start it. That's all...
